I love family birthdays. It's low key, low stress for me. Sophie really wanted a party, though. I opted for a family party where we played games/did crafts like a regular party. (Isn't compromise great?) I made simple little invites and taped them to all the bedroom doors.

This year it was all about the princesses. We played fairy tale sculptorades which all the kids loved and made our own lip gloss. Sophie wanted a pink princess cake, so (thank you Tiff!) she got one.

Sophie got some new clothes (including a couple of shirts that had matching shirts for both her favorite dolls), a new Blythe doll, some books, the Play-doh ice cream maker, a Belle princess dress-up, and a cardboard castle she can color herself. She was thrilled!

This has been an exhausting summer. I have done nothing it seems but run. Literally. Up at 5:30, out the door by 6, running 4, 6, 9, 13 miles, 3-4 times per week. I didn't think it would be so tiring, but it was. I also wasn't sure it would be worth it. The thought of not meeting the goal (and flushing a $50 registration fee down the toilet) kept me going. No one wants to not meet their goals, right?

Sat. August 27, I woke up at 4:30, loaded a bus sometime after 5, crossed the start line about 7. I ran for 13.1 miles and finished in 2 hours 11 minutes and 38 seconds.
